That’s what I love about photographs.

January 31st, 2012

There’s no hiding I love images. I am crazy in love with photographs and pictures of all sorts. One single shot can blow me away, and equally a series of images can trigger a storm of emotions. My friend, Iain Bain, sent me a link to a website in preparation for an upcoming event, and [...]
 

There’s no hiding I love images. I am crazy in love with photographs and pictures of all sorts. One single shot can blow me away, and equally a series of images can trigger a storm of emotions.

My friend, Iain Bain, sent me a link to a website in preparation for an upcoming event, and I am so glad he did as I spent a whole evening going through the different stories, told by the subjects in their own words and interpreted by the photographer in his images. I would really recommend anyone to have a look and a listen to this collection of beautiful, everyday stories;  http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/1-in-8-million/index.html

I’ve spent my Tuesday creating a story too. A story that in parts has already been told, and captured. I’ve been working on an album design for a wedding I photographed back in October (Heidi and Steve) at Nonsuch Mansion.

It’s an amazing feeling as all the images from the different parts of the day comes together in a book, which then takes you back to that moment in time and not only shows you what it looked like, but tells a story of love and laughter. Of friendships and family relations. A story that has no words but speaks so loud.

That’s what I love about photographs.

Lot’s of love. A

Here’s a few pages from Heidi and Steve’s wedding album.

I love Sweden.

January 27th, 2012

You might and you might not know that I was born in Sweden. I grew up there and spent my young years in the South, living with my family by the coast. Every other year or so I try to take a few weeks out of my busy schedule and go back to this truly spectacular [...]
 

You might and you might not know that I was born in Sweden. I grew up there and spent my young years in the South, living with my family by the coast.

Every other year or so I try to take a few weeks out of my busy schedule and go back to this truly spectacular country.

So, summer of 2011 I decided to go see a place in Sweden where I’d never been before. Smögen. A little idyllic place, just north of Gothenburg, well known for its fish, prawns and other seafood, it’s long, wooden pier and beautiful, remote archipelago.

It’s a complete tourist trap in the summer months, but if you get up early there’s rewards to be had while you watch the fishermen come in with their catch as the golden sun reflects the beautiful colours of red, blue and turquoise. It’s a breath taking place and such a boost for the soul.

Here’s a few pictures from my morning in Bohuslän, Sweden.

Favourites 2011

December 31st, 2011

So, another year comes to an end tonight. It’s gone fast. But they say time goes quickly when you’re having fun, so it all makes sense. As always I’m so thankful for all the things that I have in my business. The number one reason I love being a photographer is to take pictures to [...]
 

So, another year comes to an end tonight. It’s gone fast. But they say time goes quickly when you’re having fun, so it all makes sense.

As always I’m so thankful for all the things that I have in my business. The number one reason I love being a photographer is to take pictures to make people happy. Pictures to remember. To treasure. To love and cherish. It’s sounds cliche perhaps, but all I could every wish for as a photographer is to make people happy by capturing something that matters.

I got a christmas card this morning from a client and when I read it I cried. I had goosebumps all over and I cried. Because what was said in this one card is all that matters. It’s what I work hard for throughout the year. It’s what I strive for in my short and long term goals. This is what it said:

“Dear Anna, Thank you SO much for the invaluable part that you played in making our wedding day so special. We are over the moon with the storybook and how beautifully your images have captured the magic of the day. Your relaxed approach was perfect for us. We really enjoyed spending time with you during the planning stages and on the day itself, especially during the walks through the gardens for the portrait shoots. Throughout the rest of the day, we didn’t realise that you were taking many of the “in the moment” shots, and so it was a wonderful surprise when we first saw the images online. We are extremely grateful to you for the special images that you took of our family – they are so natural and unique, and totally capture their essence. I would highly recommend the whole experience of having you as a wedding photographer. We will forever treasure our storybook and the time we shared with you Anna. Wishing you all the very best for the future. Natalie & Steve”

So, another year comes to an end tonight. But tomorrow a new year starts. A brand new year, with new people, new places, new feelings, new goals, new beginnings and new adventures. So welcome 2012, bring lot’s of love and happiness for all. Please.

I would like to share some of my favourite images from 2011 with you all, and below is a small selection of some of my 2011 very favourite shots.

Happy Happy new year to all. My very best wishes for 2012. Lot’s of love. A

Merry Christmas

I’m sitting in the sofa, in my pyjama and slippers, drinking a cup of hot chocolate. It’s 6am, Christmas morning and I can’t sleep no more. Only me and the dog are awake and all is very quiet and still. I’m happy. Because I have my health. Something I take for granted, but which I’m not [...]

I’m sitting in the sofa, in my pyjama and slippers, drinking a cup of hot chocolate. It’s 6am, Christmas morning and I can’t sleep no more. Only me and the dog are awake and all is very quiet and still.

I’m happy. Because I have my health. Something I take for granted, but which I’m not guaranteed. It means everything to be well.

I’m happy. Because I have love. I am so thankful for my amazing family. For Suny, my love. For my friends, near and far. And for Mozart, my wonderful dog.

It’s Christmas and I have all I could ever wish for!

Merry Christmas to you all! Take time to truly enjoy the loves in your life and fully appreciate what you have.

Lot’s of love, always. A

London Wedding at the Berkley Hotel + Farm St Church + The Merchant Taylor Hall – Clemmie & James

Clemmie & James got married in London a couple of weeks ago. They had such a lovely day at some of my favourite London locations.

Preparations took place at The Berkley hotel together with her bridesmaids and a great team of hair and make up artists. A lovely bright room and a sunny winters day made for some lovely pictures before heading of to Farm Street church close by. One of my favourite London churches, with the loveliest priest, a great grand church and lovely light even for a wedding ceremony taking place in winter after dark. Big plus.

After the ceremony Clemmie and James travelled by London taxi’s to the reception, while guests got a little tour on the big red London buses. Once at The Merchant Taylor Hall we took some pictures in the venue and it’s fantastic courtyard. And even though it was was early evening by now, the venue provided us with some great locations for pictures before the party started properly in the grand hall. It’s an amazing venue; grand, elegant, spacious and full of character.

The rest of the evening was spent celebrating with friends and family before sitting down for wedding breakfast by a candle lit table decorated in Christmas style with lovely ivory, green and navy coloured details. My very favourite being the hand painted Christmas tree baubles for each guest with their name on it.

C + J. Thank you so much for having me join your wedding celebrations. It was so lovely to share it with you and it was such a great day! You are such a considerate and warm couple, and just perfect together. I hope you are enjoying the Maldives! Again, a big thank you and a very Merry Christmas to you both.

Lot’s of love, A

I was so happy to meet up with Leisha and Andrew over the weekend. Having not seen them since their wedding last summer is was great to get together for some pictures of new and adorable family member Gabriel. Such a star and a proper little poser at 12 weeks.
